Recently I have been playing around with new backdrops and props for my items. I am always torn between wanting a clean, simple look without being boring and a complimentary look using props without being too overwhelming.

I also received a large supplies order at the beginning of the week and have been busy making new items for 8th Sin. Together with the new items and backdrop, I hope I can achieve a cute, whimsical and pretty effect to show my jewellery to the best of my abilities!

I have made antique bronze bee necklaces before but I've improved them with my new supplies by making part of the chain branches intertwined with flower links. I hope the effect is dainty and whimsical, perfect for Classic Lolita, Mori Girl, Dolly Kei, Cult Party Kei and Shironuri. There are so many styles that suit this timeless vintage feel.

I made a similar necklace but instead featuring an antique bronze deer & bird pendant. Whilst bees and insects are more appealing for a unique twist, deer have an extra pretty feel for a feminine look.
